FAQs
What material are the Balmain Swan Low Shoes made of?
The shoes are primarily made of 100% calfskin, with suede and nubuck panels. The lining and insole are also made of leather.
Do the shoes come with extra laces?
Yes, the Balmain Swan Low Shoes come with two pairs of laces: one white and one grey-black.
How should I clean the suede and nubuck parts?
Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede and nubuck to remove dust and dirt. For stains, a suede eraser can be helpful. Avoid using water directly on these materials.
What is the sole height of these shoes?
The sole height is 2.5 cm at its highest point.
Are these shoes suitable for sports or athletic activities?
No, the Balmain Swan Low Shoes are designed for fashion and casual wear and are not suitable for athletic performance.
What is the best way to store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in their original box or a dust bag in a cool, dry place. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?
It is recommended to avoid wearing these shoes in wet weather. Applying a waterproofing spray designed for leather and suede can offer some protection, but caution is advised.
Troubleshooting
Suede or nubuck material appears scuffed or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be used sparingly. Always brush in one direction.
Leather creasing or dullness
Use a specialized leather conditioner and a soft cloth to polish the leather areas. This will restore moisture and shine.
Laces show wear and tear
Replace the laces with a new pair. The shoes come with two sets of laces (white and grey-black) for this purpose.
Sole appears dirty
Wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by a clean, damp cloth.
